I understand that can happen. But do they correct it when they discover they were wrong, or do journalists just take a care free attitude and continue to print unverified and nonfactual reports with no ramifications or responsibility? Maybe they do, I don't know.

Many think that they are above accountability. That's why so many newspapers are losing circulation.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports the Redskins recently offered their first-round pick in 2008 and their third-rounder in 2009 for Chad Johnson.

The third-rounder could've escalated to a first-rounder based on performance in 2009, but the Redskins were turned down. Mort says this is the first "significant proposal" Cincinnati has received for Chad. There is a chance Washington will up its offer on draft day, but the Bengals aren't budging yet.

What he said. ESPECIALLY given how many needs we still have. Our whole starting O-line is still all made up of guys who are 30+ and injury-prone (as a group; some of them play a whole season), and we need youth at other positions as well. I'd give no more than a single first-rounder for C. Johnson, and even that's a bit generous given his age. Better to just hold the pick and use it.
